The number in the right-hand column is the group number of the QSO,
from your log.  My understanding is that if the group number is NOT
zero, then the QSO was found in your log.  It could also be zero if no
group number was assigned to that QSO.

If there is a small dot (like a period) in the left-hand column (as
shown below), the QSO was already confirmed via LoTW (from a previous
import).   If there is an 'X', then the QSO from LoTW was NOT found in
your log (and the group number will be (0) zero).
