Rail splitters take the full supply voltage and usually output half that voltage. When you use that output voltage as (virtual) 0V reference point ground, then each supply voltage is more positive or negative than the virtual ground (GND).
- 10V can be split into +5V, 0V/GND, and -5V.
- 18V can be split into +9V, 0V/GND, and -9V.
Doing so makes it easy to alternate current through a circuit.
