Relative miR-944 expression in FFPE cervical cancer tissues and normal cervical tissues. a Relative miR-944 expression in paired samples (n = 6). The mean miR-944 expression level in the cervical cancer tissues was significantly higher than the pair-matched non-cancerous cervical tissues (P = 0.031). b The relative miR-944 expression levels were compared between cervical cancer (n = 66) and normal cervical tissues (n = 50). The miR-944 expression levels in cervical cancer tissues were significantly higher than those in normal cervical tissues (P < 0.0001). c Receiver operator characteristic curve analysis for determining cut-off value is distinguishing normal and cancer cells was performed. Optimal cut-off point for miR-944 with an AUC of 0.79 (P < 0.0001; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.71–0.86). * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, and *** P < 0.001
