The two white dots on your first node show that you're watching that node.
If you click the final node of your node setup and press 1 and 2 on your keyboard (or click-hold-drag that node to your view), you will see the result of the operation. The fact that you can see the (green) controls doesn't have any effect on what tool you're watching. A lot of times you'll want to watch a different node than the one you're actually changing.
