What do We Mean by Synthesis? 
In a background review and synthesis of the literature, you don’t take a stand on an issue.  You review what the articles say on the issue, dividing the arguments in the articles into themes. 
For example, let us assume that you conduct library research on the topic of learning management systems for schools, online teaching, and effective teaching in an online environment.  You might find that three major themes emerge from your perusing of the seven articles: 

common reasons for resisting the move to a new LMS 
impact on faculty members when transitioning to a new LMS 
impact on students when transitioning to new LMS
