Juliana, I think if you compare otherwise equivalent refinement runs in phenix.refine with refinement.input.xray_data.outliers_rejection=True (the default) and refinement.input.xray_data.outliers_rejection=False then this will tell you if there's any meaningful difference in the refinement statistics (or map). This doesn't mean you have to use phenix.refine on your structure beyond that point, just that this is likely the cleanest comparison that I can think of.

The space group is P212121. When I refine the MR solution the Rfree stops around 30% and it doesn´t decrease (in fact if I continue refining it starts to increase). The Wilson plot graph is not fitting very well between 2.3 and 2.6 Å: [cid:image001.jpg@01D2A87A.D704ACD0] So I decided to cut the data at 2.6A and Xtriage analysis doesn’t notify about outliers anymore. I could refine the MR solution very well, the final Rwork is 0.2427 and Rfree = 0.2730 and validation on Phenix results in a good structure. I run Zanuda to confirm the space group and it says that the space group assignment seems to be correct. Do you think that I can improve my structure and solve it at 2.3 Å or better? Or I can finish it with 2.6 Å? To publish at 2.6 Å I need to justify the resolution cut, right? What should I say? Thank you for your help!
