Generally, the implied meaning is something like:
After
, Black cannot play 
as shown, because 
is too good for white.
The formulation "If White 1, Black 2, then White 3" is very reminiscent of game reviews, where, if a student asks "But what about Black here?" and the teacher answers "Then White plays here", with the implied "which is good for white" left off, because it is considered obvious.
As such, the caption is a succinct reference to this way of teaching, and is chosen over leaving off a caption altogether.
