About Guideline in ConstraintLayout: Utility class representing a Guideline helper object for ConstraintLayout. Helper objects are not displayed on device (they are marked as View.GONE) and are only used for layout purposes. They only work within a ConstraintLayout. [...]
For more details, there is good documentation:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/constraint/Guideline.html
