Overall, Vladimir sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Caitlyn. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Caitlyn helps Vladimir perform poorer in ranked League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.
When Vladimir tries to synergize with Caitlyn, he observes a marginal improvement in his full damage output. This change may indicate that Caitlyn provides cover for him to dish out more damage or that her allyship also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Vladimir is played alongside Caitlyn on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Caitlyn. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Caitlyn.
Moreover, when Vladimir plays with Caitlyn on the same side, he on average receives a little more damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt more damage may mean that Caitlyn does a poor job of protecting Vladimir in team fights.

Is Vladimir better when played alongside Caitlyn?
There is no one best synergy for Vladimir that will always be his ideal synergy. However, overall, Caitlyn is a below average ally for Vladimir. By being on the same team as Vladimir, she drops their win rate by -1.5% to 48.5%. This demonstrates that there is a harmful synergy between Vladimir and Caitlyn that results in them performing worse together than without each other.
Caitlyn has a lower difficulty than Vladimir. That means you don't need to be careful when lining up Caitlyn teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to work well with you.
Playing on the same side, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity 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 pairing Vladimir and Caitlyn together, you probably will not be granting your other teammates much crowd control. Make sure to include other champions on your team that nullifies this disparity in this pairing's kit.
Regardless of the ability of your Caitlyn ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
