What overall trend is observed in the data as both heat and pressure increase with depth?

As depth increases, heat and pressure generally rise, giving minerals more opportunity to recrystallize and grow. Pressure can also align minerals, producing foliation in metamorphic rock. Thus, the trend is toward larger, more stable minerals and a shift from fine-grained to foliated texture; complete melting is not the usual result of metamorphism.
