This may indicate that Caitlyn doesn't help cover for him to dish out more damage or that her support also helps increase the match's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Caitlyn.
Moreover, when Jax plays with Caitlyn on the same side, he on average takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Receiving more damage could mean that Caitlyn does a poor job of protecting Jax during teamfights.

By playing on the same side as Jax, she lowers their win rate by -0.4% to 50.4%. This clearly indicates that there is a weak bond between Jax and Caitlyn that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.
Caitlyn has a greater difficulty than Jax. That means Jax players need to be cautious when finding Caitlyn comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to work well with you.
Playing alongside, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Conversely, by grouping Jax and Caitlyn together, you will not be giving your other allies a great deal of engage. Plan to have other champs on your team that fills this relative disparity in their capabilities.
Regardless of your Caitlyn ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
