According to the American Psychological Association, a literature review does all of the following EXCEPT:

A) summarizing what has been found.
B) informing the reader about the findings that are strongly supported.
C) pointing out inconsistent findings.
D) analyzing data from several reported studies.

Analyzing data from several reported studies is an essential part of a literature review, and is therefore included in the list provided by the American Psychological Association. All the other options (summarizing what has been found, informing the reader about strongly supported findings, and pointing out inconsistent findings) are also crucial components of a literature review.
