This could indicate that Caitlyn does not provide cover for her to dish out more damage or that her participation also helps extend the game's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Caitlyn.

By playing on the same team as Lux, she has no effect on their win rate by 0.0% to 49.8%. This demonstrates that there is a weak strategic relationship between Lux and Caitlyn that results in them performing at the same level together than without each other.
Caitlyn has a greater difficulty than Lux. That means you must be careful when arranging Caitlyn comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.
Playing on the same side, Lux players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. Combined, these champions can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
Although, by pairing Lux and Caitlyn together, you probably will not be giving your team much engage potential. Plan to include other champs on your team that offsets this relative hole in their potential.
Regardless of your Caitlyn ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
